A trip to Cali Roots is the perfect gift for any reggae lover! This year’s lineup looks so irie, and has some new artists debuting at the festival that are must-see! Here is a list of five artists that you’ll love seeing for the first time at the festival.

Daily Reggae caught up with Kolohe Kai to learn about the reception to his beautiful album, “Hazel Eyes”, his passion for Hawaiian music, and how he balances recording and live shows. Kai has an upcoming tour in the U.S. that you will not want to miss!

In his latest album, “Hazel Eyes”, Hawaiian singer-songwriter, Kolohe Kai celebrates the beauty in life. Kolohe has such an incredible outlook on life and his positive energy is contagious. We love his passion, hearing his outstanding singing voice, and listening to his well crafted songs. Throughout “Hazel Eyes”’ 11 songs, a smile will be brought to your face. You better make sure your shoe laces are tied or flip flops are fully on, because the album will inspire you to get up and dance in the moment.

Kolohe Kai uplifts our spirits with the incredible new song, I Think You're Beautiful! The incredible Hawaiin singer was inspired to create the song to empower our youth to believe in themselves and not worry about pressure to fit any particular mold. The single is the first leading up to Kolohe Kai’s album due out later this year. The artist’s beautiful voice and lyrics, along with his big heart shine through in his music, and we can’t wait to hear more!
